Discover Russian language with a native speaker (10+ years of teaching experience)

I am in love with teaching languages. Being a Russian native speaker, I can help students to understand this subject deeper and to concentrate more on speaking practice which is very important in learning language. I've been teaching Russian as a second language for more than 10 years.

About Helen M.

(89)
Hi, there! My name is Helen and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2009 and have loved helping my students to speak a new language, to successfully pass their exams, and to increase their language confidence. I grew up in Eastern Ukraine and I earned a Master’s degree in French language and literature in 2010. I'm a patient and easy going person and my teaching methods always depend on student’s age and language needs. I look forward helping you to reach your goals!

Helen is an amazing French insturctor because she's not only fluent in French; Helen's clarity is fantastic! It's very important that my instructor corrects my pronunciation as we move forward. Helen also gives a lot of commendation along the way, and it makes me feel good about my efforts. Merci Helen!
